Is it just me who loves Bob Ross?

Big old clouds, happy little trees

I can’t paint for toffee but I could watch him all day. Just watching it now and it’s like all the stress leaves the body.

Anyways. Happy little fluffy clouds to you all

Littlebird, I'll send you a few of mine, not up to his standard, but painting certainly helped my MH when in lockdown

I absolutely love Bob Ross. The man was a gift to man kind. The level of peace, joy and serenity that he could make you feel as he painted trees, mountains, skies and seas, was absolutely incredible. His warm and friendly tone seemed so genuine, never forced and made it one of the most inviting and comforting TV shows ever made.

I used to love Bob Ross as a kid used to watch him doing his paintings before I went to school, although his main student is still teaching his methods I see a documentary on YouTube

I thought I was shit at painting but love watching Bob.

I was bought some paints, canvas etc during lockdown. I sold 2 paintings within 6 weeks and did 4 more for family and friends.

Give it a go. Watch 5 minutes of Bob then go paint, come back and watch 5 etc etc.

You'll surprise yourself

Reading back it seems like I've only done 6 paintings.

There were a fair few I wasn't totally happy with. Sometimes you'll fuck the mountain up, Sometimes a single tree. Stick with it though. It's not as easy as Bob makes it look, but not as hard as the Sistine Chapel

There is a documentary about his life which I think may be on Netflix that is worth watching.

The background to his career and personal life is crazy.

I remember Bob. His cheeky little bushes and discreet water lines was one thing , but I bet he was shit at ceilings and cutting in around corners. The way he cleans his brush highlights other trends... bet he wouldn't think twice about wiping his cock on a garment or whipping his condom off mid fuck. One to watch I'd say....
